Scratch

I'm having a problem, and I'm hoping someone has any idea what's happening, because this is confusing me... a lot.

I'm trying to use a list (for the one sprite) and a variable called timer (I can't use the built-in one). There's one item on the list (I'll add more to it later after this), which is "20.1". Then I have a script for the timer that changes every 0.1 seconds by, well, 0.1. Then I have another script saying "wait until item 1 of (list) > timer", and the timer always resets to 0 when the script starts. But as soon as it starts, it thinks that timer is always greater than the item in the list, and the wait until block activates instantly. I've tried putting a "wait 0.1 secs" block first to make sure the timer gets a chance to reset before the wait until blocks starts, and it still starts right away.

I can't tell if there's a problem with scratch, the list, my scripting or I'm just missing something big.    Any ideas?
